Cracked iPhone 5 screen. Options?
Bought phone at release. Past te 30 day. I think it's 30 day limit to get AppleCare ?
Anybody have experience with getting it replaced ? |
Should've bought a case, best investment you could've made. Anyways your practically SOL. Cracked screen is not covered under warranty if any sort and would not be accepted as a return even within policy date as you caused the damage. Go to an electronics repair shop and hopefully they can install a new screen for about $50 or more.

Where can I get a new screen? I hear the iPhone 5 u have to buy the whole LCD screen?for like 275 from what I've seen. I can install it myself

This site is pretty good and they offer step by step tear downs on almost any product |
cool thx buddy
|
Crap I guess they're sold out now. Not very helpful anymore
|
Upgrade to galaxy s3:tup:
|
Haha. I'm stuck with this phone :(
|
iFixit is great. I broke the back glass when I had an iPhone 4. Ordered the kit for 30 bucks. It comes with the proprietary screwdriver and glass plate. Took me 2 minutes to switch it out.
The front glass is a lot harder to do. Someone I know ordered the front kit. Pretty much had to take the entire phone apart. Took a few hours lols. Tapatalk & such etc |

That said, the ways of the Genius Bar can be mysterious. It's worth taking it to an Apple Store and seeing what they say. |
AppleCare won't but AppleCare + does.
They do it in store for 50 AppleCare you have within a year to add it AppleCare + you have 30 days |
You can sell it for a decent price then upgrade to a gs3
|
Just bring it to the store, apple will give you a brand new phone for $200 in exchange for your iphone. Might be better options out there as far as cost, but if you want a brand new one it's the way to go. I did this after giving mine a nice dip in the washer machine.

I had the gs3 for 6 days and went back to the iPhone. Not a fan

OP, pretty sure you'd have to bring the phone in for inspection when adding AppleCare+. I'd take it in to see what they say though. |
apple can exchange my phone for a new phone for $220, not too bad (guy told me on phone)
Or go through verizon's 3rd party insurance, it's $159....i kinda got lucky.... still sucks! |

My phone will always run Android. iOS isn't bad, but the flexibility of my phone is superior in every way. It's just a way more open system, and if you like tinkering, it's fantastic. I think iOS makes a better tablet OS. I haven't used Windows 8, though. |
